Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.

If she is keeping her mouth open and drooling saliva then you should not wait and contact the emergency at the earliest possible. I suggest you to contact the ER at the earliest.

Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
